Drug Resistant Strain of Gonorrhea May Become a New STD Transmission Threat

A new global strain of Gonorrhea may become a new STD transmission threat for residents of Orange County and Los Angeles.  The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have been warning of developments regarding this strain.  The so-called “Super Gonorrhea” may become completely resistant to antibiotics and the CDC is concerned about global spread.  The STD has reached London, and this is a jumping off point as world travelers unknowingly carry the disease after a visit to the international city.

Once a person becomes aware that they carry an STD such as Super Gonorrhea, they are required by California law to inform their partner that they carry an STD prior to intimate contact.  The failure to do so brings significant civil penalties and financial exposure to the person who transmitted the disease without warning.  In order for these cases to be successful, the person who transmitted the disease must be a person of substance, i.e. a business owner, professional athlete, celebrity, actor, TV personality, college professor or even a member of the clergy.  In my practice, I have seen many cases, and an STD does not discriminate.

It is unknown at this point if it will be possible to prove through testing who was the source of the infection, however doctors and research scientists continue to work on the problem.  This Super Gonorrhea is a new STD transmission threat, and local authorities would do well to keep abreast of developments abroad and monitor the communications of the CDC.

If you receive an STD from a person of substance without advance warning, I can definitely help you to hold that person financially accountable.  Just like the recent HIV case involving Charlie Sheen, our law firm has held many famous and wealthy people accountable and financially responsible for not warning a potential partner in advance of intimate contact.  I invite you to contact me personally for a free, confidential and private consultation at (949)305-1400.  We will work together to hold the other party responsible and financially accountable, and provide the resources for you to receive the medical care you will need in the future, while providing hope for the future.
